The Queue: I'd love to see LA

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Mike Sacco will be your host today.

This song is the header today because I just have it stuck in my head. Enjoy.

BlazeNor asked:

Is it possible to clear a current raid with everyone not wearing pants/leggings?

It's possible, sure, but it's gonna be a pain. Legs have a sizeable chunk of stats on them, and taking those stats away from every player in the raid puts you at a significant disadvantage.

frankie.cm asked:

Lorewise.....Where is/has been Sylvanas all this time? There is an absence of trolls in MoPs campaign but so is of Forsaken. Except from the only one that tags along with you and gives you quests in Dominance Offensive, there hasn't been any presence at all...

Honestly, she's probably jumping for joy in some dark room because Garrosh is finally digging his own grave. The devs did say she'll play a part in this whole Garrosh affair; it's probably just not time for her close-up yet.

JeffLaBowski asked:

Why do we pay tax for monthly subs that are taken directly out of debit/credit cards from Blizzard but not when you buy game cards?

I believe the sales tax only applies based on the location from which you're buying; some states will charge sales tax on those purchases and some won't. Your state may also have weird laws about physical vs. digital sales.

richie.09 asked:

Do you anticipate a lot of raid groups falling apart because of the difficulty of Throne of Thunder?

It's in the nature of raid groups to fall apart. It might be a single boss, it might be a raid, it might be attendance. I don't think Throne of Thunder is going to be much different from previous tiers in terms of guild-destruction potential.
